What is Gloss & Growth?
Gloss & Growth is not merely an event… it is an affair.
A two-part experience designed for artists who crave both mastery and meaning.Â

A curated digital library featuring twelve exclusive presentations, each designed to deepen your artistry, sharpen your decision-making, and elevate your confidence in the industry.
This online collection opens January 2026.
Â
Reserve Your SeatPart Two:
 In-Person RetreatÂ
Â
An intimate in-person gathering held March 28–29, 2026, created to restore clarity, courage, and connection.
For our Season’s Diamonds, the experience begins early with an exclusive VIP dinner on March 27 — a rare opportunity to dine and converse with our esteemed educators.
The Masterclass Library
Â
Begin your journey with exclusive access to our digital masterclass collection — twelve pre-recorded presentations from the industry’s most celebrated educators.
Each session has been crafted to pour wisdom directly into your cup — guiding you through artistry, ethics, marketing, mindset, and the inner work required to thrive in beauty and business alike.
You’ll have access for 1 year to revisit, reflect, and refine at your own pace — ensuring the learning continues long after the tea has cooled.
The In-Person Retreat
Â
The affair culminates in a two-day, in-person retreat — an intimate gathering of 30 designed to awaken your artistry, clarify your purpose, and cultivate lifelong connections.Â
And, as every diamond deserves a touch of mystery — our 💎 VIP attendees 💎 (limited to 10) will also receive an undisclosed bonus experience, designed to delight, surprise, and remind you that true luxury is found in the details.
Gloss & Growth is not simply a gathering — it’s a movement of refinement, stewardship, and elevation.
Â
Whether you join us online or in person, you’ll step into a circle where artistry and integrity shine in equal measure.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The journey from gloss to growth — served with poise and purpose.
Reserve Your Seat
Â
Reserve your seat and gain access to the Gloss & Growth Masterclass Library — twelve exclusive, pre-recorded sessions designed to ignite inspiration, deepen skill, and stir reflection.
Your transformation starts long before the retreat — with lessons you can sip slowly, at your own pace.
Immerse in the Masterclass Library
Â
In January 2026, the Masterclass Library opens its doors, unveiling a beautifully curated collection of teachings from our most distinguished educators — each session a graceful blend of artistry, ethics, and elevation.
With one full year of access to the Masterclass Library and the exclusive private Facebook community, you are invited to learn at your own pace, implement what you’ve discovered, and return again and again to deepen your mastery.
Inside the private group, you’ll have the space to ask questions, share insights, and connect with other artists who are equally devoted to growth, community, and meaningful networking. It is a supportive environment where artists learn from one another, celebrate wins, and cultivate authentic relationships along the way.
These lessons are not simply watched — they are absorbed, practiced, and lived. A place where your confidence expands, your technique evolves, and the joy of your craft is rekindled with every revisit.
A gentle reminder of why you fell in love with this work…
and an invitation to rise into the artist you were always meant to be.
Gather at the Table
Â
In March, we gather for two unforgettable days where connection deepens, conversations spark clarity, and the room feels electric. You’ll experience exclusive presentations, intimate discussions, and transformative workshops designed to elevate your artistry and expand your identity.
This isn’t just an event — it’s where real growth happens.
Â
For Our Season’s Diamonds
Â
Our VIP guests join us one evening early — March 27th — for a private dinner alongside our educators, with laughter, mentorship, and a surprise touch of indulgence.

It’s an experience designed to remind you: luxury isn’t excess, it’s intention.
Meet The Educators
We're Spilling The Tea
The Tea on Contessa Francesca Froio
Â
 It’s no secret that Contessa Francesca Froio reigns supreme when it comes to the art and science of color.
As one of our distinguished online educators inside the Gloss & Growth Masterclass Library, Francesca unveils the alchemy behind her renowned artistry in “The Contessa’s Tint: Secrets of Color and Composition.” With her expert grasp of pigment chemistry and color harmony, she helps artists everywhere understand what truly makes a lip blush radiant, balanced, and enduring.Â

The Tea on the Duchess Amanda Rakhra

With empathy as her compass and artistry as her craft, she presents “Tones of Grace: The Art of Soft Neutralization,” a refined study in balance and beauty. Her mastery lies not only in correcting color, but in restoring confidence — teaching artists the delicate art of knowing when to neutralize, and when to simply enhance what’s already radiant.

With three decades of experience shaping both brows and minds, she returns to the spotlight with “The Art of Becoming: From Imposter to Icon — Unearthing the Diamond Within.” Through grace, grit, and wisdom, she reminds artists that their greatest transformation is not what they create on the skin — but the masterpiece they craft within themselves.
In simpler terms: Rose teaches artists how to overcome self-doubt, build confidence, and recognize their own worth in a world full of comparison.
The Tea on Marchioness Sasha Haughn
Â
It is a truth universally acknowledged that fortune favors the well-prepared — and the Marchioness Sasha Haughn embodies this truth with every ledger and lesson she shares.
From humble beginnings as a solo artist to the helm of a seven-figure enterprise, she has built her empire with equal parts elegance and efficiency. In her in-person presentation, “A Lady’s Ledger: Finances Made Simple for the New Artist,” Sasha reveals how prosperity begins not with luck, but with literacy — in both numbers and mindset.

With clarity, creativity, and courage, she presents “The Virtues of a Visionary: A Modern Artist’s Handbook,” a masterclass designed to elevate the soul of the artist just as much as their craft.
